Specific embodiment
With reference to the drawings, wherein similar suffix reference label can be provided for similar structure.In order to apparent Ground shows that the structure of each embodiment, drawings included herein are the graphical representations of integrated circuit structure.Thus manufacture is integrated The actual look (such as in the micrograph) of circuit structure can seem different, and still comprising being required in illustrated embodiment The structure of protection.In addition, attached drawing can only be shown for understanding the useful structure of illustrated embodiment.It can not include in this field Known other structure, to keep the clear of attached drawing.The embodiment that the expressions such as " embodiment ", " each embodiment " so describe It may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but not each embodiment must include the special characteristic, structure or spy Property.Some embodiments can have in feature described in other embodiments part, all or without the feature. The common object of the descriptions such as " first ", " second " and " third ", and indicate to be referred to the different instances of analogical object.This shape Hold word and do not imply that the object so described must be in time, space, sequence in or in any other way and gives In sequence." connection " can indicate that element physically or electrically contacts directly with one another, and " coupling " can indicate element coordination with one another Or contact, but they directly may or may not physically or electrically be contacted.In addition, although appended drawing reference similar or identical can be used In indicating same or similar part in different figures, but does so and be not meant as including the complete of similar or identical appended drawing reference Portion's attached drawing constitutes single or identical embodiment.The X-Z coordinate shown in come understand such as " higher " and " compared with It is low ", " ... on " and " ... under " etc term, and can be managed by reference to X-Y coordinate or non-Z coordinate The term of solution such as " adjacent " etc.
It (is 10mV- for domain wall memory for example, being 0.1V for TFET that many, which surmounts cmos device in ultra low voltage, 100mV, and for spin logical device be 1mV-10mV) under run.For appropriate power requirement (for example, each chip 1W), it requires (for example, 10A-100A) to produce distribution problem corresponding to the high current of low ultra low voltage, reduces by super More advantage obtained from cmos device.For example, the electrochemical cell for directly generating 10mV, which does not have, provides the capacity of 100A electric current, And due to electron density limits and it is generally desirable to runing time in (for example, 2-4 hours) enough charges cannot be provided (that is, quantity that required charge is more than the free electron in the battery of reasonable size) (referring to the second row of Fig. 7).In another example using Exist in the buck converter that 1V is converted to 10mV, but is not integrated in chip/substrate identical with cmos device is surmounted (referring to the first row of Fig. 7), and enough charges cannot be provided due to identical aforementioned consideration.In addition, chip external conversion Device from converter to target device transmission electric power distribution network in by power consumption (that is, electric power must cross resistance Anti- interconnection, and result is by power consumption).Fig. 7, which is provided, for example to be had 4 hours in the thermal design point (TDP) of 1W The summary of power requirement under the 10mV of battery life.Specifically, by 1V, 1A power supply be converted to 10mV (that is, ultralow electric power), 100A power supply (that is, second row that Fig. 7 is moved to from the first row of Fig. 7) must satisfy corresponding capacitor (1.4 × 104C) and close Spend (in 100g, 40A- hours/kg) requirement.This by power supply is integrated in and surmount on cmos logic gate identical chips (that is, One-piece substrate) system be difficult to complete.
